Don't forget, Not ScoMo thought going to NRL and restarting sports was a priority amid COVID...but apparently expressing solidarity and demanding change for our black, brown, and everything in between brothers and sisters isn't #BlackLivesMatter #IndigenousLivesMatter

As Boris Johnson & the University of Oxford VC sprout platitudes of not erasing history through the removal of glorifying symbols of British colonialism from public display, George Monbiot exposes how British history has literally been deleted. It's not imperial amnesia, it's a cover-up.

It seems that old mate #PoundShopEnochPowell has submitted his video CV to #BunkerBoy for the role of token Brit anchor on the new Trump America News Network -#TANN - to be launched in late November. Godspeed Nigel Farage MP, don't let the door hit you...

Unpopular opinion coming up👇 NHS charities have been set up by incredible individuals. But NHS charities should not exist. They serve as plasters covering the gaping wounds government has intentionally made through cutting NHS budgets. The NHS is a public service, not a charity

I now have the perfect image to accompany my annual rant to students about how important it is to pay attention to units... Thankfully these ones aren't invariant 🤡👋
